Private & commercial tenders · AU / NZ
The facilities managerwrote it their way.
Private RFTs don't follow government templates. The requirements that disqualify you are buried in subcontract annexures, site rules and prequal portals. TenderSprint reads all of it and hands you every mandatory item — page-cited, in minutes.

Where commercial packs bite hardest
Their insurance schedule, not the standard one
Head contractors and landlords set their own limits and often demand principal-indemnity or specific endorsements. It's rarely on the cover page — it's in a subcontract annexure.
Contractor-portal prequalification
Cm3, Avetta, LinkSafe, Rapid — many private buyers require an active prequal before they'll even score your submission, with its own document set and expiry dates.
Site rules attached as a separate PDF
Inductions, after-hours access, police checks, uniform and vehicle standards, environmental requirements. Ten pages of obligations that never appear in the main RFT.
Pricing schedules with their own rules
Rise-and-fall, rates per square metre, exclusions to be listed in a specific format. Get the format wrong and you're not compared on price at all.
And it watches the bid
Forward the buyer's addendum to your bid's email address and TenderSprint tells you which of your answers just went stale. It also checks your certificates against their terms — including whether your public liability still runs on the day the contract starts, which is the instant-fail nobody checks until it's too late.
Same product, same price: the scan is free during early access and a full drafted response is $299 — against $1,000–$6,250 for a bid writer. Government tenders work too; see the main page for the public-sector features.
